Nigerian gospel artist and radio host Bolaji Olarewaju, widely known as Big Bolaji, has passed away. His family confirmed the heartbreaking news in a statement released on Saturday, revealing that he died after a short illness.
Described as a beloved husband, father, brother, and an influential figure in both the gospel music scene and the church, Bolaji was an ordained pastor in the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).
He died on Easter Saturday, April 19, 2025. Big Bolaji had recently marked his 50th birthday, a milestone many celebrated with him.
He started his journey in gospel music with the group J’apha and over the years, became a voice that inspired many through his music and radio talk shows. The family says arrangements for his burial will be announced soon.
Nigerian actress Rita Dominic expressed her grief and shared a tribute to late actor Alex Ekubo.
“It’s heartbreaking to see a young person in their prime taken from us too soon. I struggle to comprehend it and truly refuse to accept it.
Rest in peace, dear Alex. May you find comfort among the angels. My deepest condolences to the family and loved ones.”
It can be noted that the funeral was held on June 18, where family and friends said their final goodbye.
Nigerian actor Chiwetalu Agu shared a tribute to honour late actor Alex Ekubo.
He mourned the actor and shared his tribute “Rest in peace, Alex Ekubo. I am saddened by your passing. As a fellow actor who has walked this path for many years, I know how much passion, sacrifice and heart you poured into your craft. You were young, talented and full of promise, and it hurts to see a light like yours go out so soon.”
The wife of Nigerian billionaire businessman Femi Otedola, Nana Otedola, has spoken out to clear up claims about her nationality.
It has been noted that many people have been trying to guess her nationality, with the growing claim being that she is Ghanaian due to her name.
She addressed the issue and stated that she is Nigerian. “To clear the room for everybody, I’m an Egba woman, and that’s the part I’ll gladly claim as a Nigerian. I am not a Ghanaian; my roots are in Abeokuta.”
